Cyclone Ciaran wreaked havoc in northwestern Europe, killing 10 people.


According to foreign media, Cyclone Ciaran has severely affected southern England, including France and the Channel Islands.


According to media reports, more than 1 million people in France are without power due to the storm, while authorities have had to close hundreds of schools due to the worst situation.


According to reports, 10 deaths have been reported so far as a result of the storm and several people have been injured.


According to media reports, the storm caused gusts of winds of up to 120 kilometers per hour, which brought down trees and power poles, while telephone lines were also badly affected.


In this regard, the British Meteorological Department has warned that infrastructure and trees may be further damaged due to strong winds and rains.


Apart from this, a warning has also been issued for roads to be washed away due to rough seas in the coastal areas.


According to reports, the transport system has also been badly affected in most of the north-west European countries due to the storm.
